Wings Bring the Heat in the Dead of Winter

On January 29th, the Wings lit up the Bennett Blazers. While the start of the game started out slow, the Wings quickly gained energy. Scoring first was Michael Wilson early in the first period. Unfortunately the Blazers scored on the Wings soon after. Minutes later, Drew sped down the ice putting the puck in net as well. At the end of the 1st period, the Wings were up 2-1. The Wings were able to hold off the Blazers in the 2nd period with the help of the defense especially Athan Blaine, DJ Hemerka, Ryan Niederkorn, and Isiah Beck. Defensemen DJ Hemerka repeately cut off the opponents heading for our net. Wing, Ryan Niederkorn, gave another point to the Wings as he scored quickly in the second period. Another defensemen, Isiah Beck, scored in the 3rd period with an assist by Jessica Shaw. Everyone played a great game especially Steve Potter, who was so close to having his first goal and played an amazing game all around! Good game everyone!

Not Even Snow Could Stop the Wings

The weather was bad, but the Wings were good on Saturday as they defeated the Vineland Sled Stars 3-0, to get their first win of the New Year. The offense was powered by Michael Wilson and Athan Blaine. Wilson provided two goals and Blaine provided the third. The defense was also ready to play allowing less than ten shots. When the shots did get through the defense, the trio of goalies were there to protect the net and earn the shutout. Although everyone played well my player of the game is Robert. He constantly hustled back to help the defense and was always near the puck. However, what was most impressive is that he was fearless against Vineland's bigger players. Way to go Robert and the rest of the Wings. Way to start off the New Year.
